Is your PC ready for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?
Here’s what you need to run Death Stranding 2 on PC
Nixxes has officially released their PC system requirements for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the formerly PlayStation 5 exclusive gaming hit. When building this PC version, Nixxes has focused on delivering a strong low-end and high-end PC gaming experience, with presets ranging from Low to Very High. The game even has a “portable” preset that’s aimed at handheld PC gaming devices.
On PC, Death Stranding 2 will support Nvidia DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS. Upscaling and Frame Generation options are available for all of these upscalers. Additionally, Nixxes has included Guerrilla Games’ “Progressive Image Composer” (PICO), upscaling technology, which is what Death Stranding uses on PlayStation 5. Pico upscaling is supported on all graphics cards.
Strong upscaling for everyone!
All upscaling options in Death Stranding 2 can operate in standard “fixed resolution” modes and with the game’s “Dynamic Resolution Scaling” mode. This means that gamers can aim for a more stable framerate with a variable resolution instead of a fixed resolution and a more variable framerate. A neat option for gamers who want more stable performance. Furthermore, the game supports “Native AA” options for all upscaling modes.
What do you need to run Death Stranding 2 at 60 FPS on PC?
For 60 FPS gameplay at 1080p medium settings, Nixxes recommends Nvidia’s RTX 3060 and AMD’s RX 6600. If you want to run the game at 60 FPS at 1440p High settings, Nvidia’s RTX 3070 and AMD’s RX 6800 are recommended. For Very High settings at 4K, AMD’s RX 9070 XT and Nvidia’s RTX 4080 should deliver solid 60 FPS framerates.
Overall, Death Stranding 2’s PC system requirements are very reasonable, especially given how good looking Death Stranding is.
